Reading Charts in Real Time

Recommended Posts

You trade the 15 minute chart? Doesn't that force you to sit around looking at your charts all day and over-analyze them?

 

For me, forex charts are generally too choppy on the shorter timeframes. I want to trade good swings.

If the UJ can make it to PT3 before the end of the day, I will nominate this for trade-of-the-month!...excellent R/R opportunity off a larger degree 2b, taken off a smaller degree 123...

 

I wasn't planning to post until next week, but I wanted to post this...and before it reached PT3...:)

Potential EU long...

 

UPDATE: I've pulled the order...the currently dead PA does not inspire confidence...it hasn't yet woken up from its weekend nap...

Well, I think I’m going to call it a night…no trades for me. :(

 

I was expecting this week to be a week of full-time, uninterrupted trading (after adjusting my part-time job schedule to only Friday evenings and weekends). However, something unexpected came up and unfortunately it will cut deep into my trading hours…I’m going to be trading from a hotel…I won’t be trading any more Tokyo’s, tomorrow’s NY will be cut short, I’ll probably have to start NY a little later each day after tomorrow, and I may not get to trade at all on Friday. It’s only this week, though…next week I should be back to full-time.

Current look at the UJ...

 

UPDATE: The short filled and my stop is now at BE+1 tick.

 

UPDATE 2: Stop moved down a little. It's actually only a 0.4 tick move down from BE+1 tick, but it does provide a more accurate illustration on my Ninja chart of where my stop actually is...

UPDATE 4: Stop moved tighter. BTW, I think I might have to be heading out soon...

UPDATE 5: PT1 filled! My day hasn't been cut as short as I expected. However, I will be leaving any minute. So, since I will not be able to actively manage this trade anymore, I'm simply moving my stop on the second half to PT1+1 tick and leaving it...the second half will either fill at PT1 or PT2. I won't be trading tonight, but I'll probably log on sometime to see what happened with this trade.

Just took BE on an attempt at an early entry on a larger swing trade...

 

I'm having a hard time this week...maybe it has to do with sleep deprivation and trading in a hotel room...I don't want to make excuses, though...haha

Potential short on the EU...

 

UPDATE: PT1 filled, stop moved down...

 

UPDATE 2: Stop moved down, again.

 

UPDATE 3: Stop moved tight as price closes in on PT2...

 

UPDATE 4: Tighter again...

 

FINAL UPDATE: Second half stopped a little short of PT2. That's a wrap.

 

I'm actually not sure what my trading schedule will look like for the remainder of the week, other than that I won't be trading Tokyo this evening for sure...I may not be trading tomorrow...not sure...

Well, I'm trading Tokyo like I said I wouldn't be able to at all this week! I'm exhausted though and will probably be calling it quits soon.

 

Anyways, I'm looking now at a potential short on the EU...

 

UPDATE: Order filled and stop moved down...

 

FINAL UPDATE: Taken out for a loss. Well, on that great note, I think I'm just going to go to bed. :doh::angry:

Current look at the EU...

 

UPDATE: Short filled and stop @ BE. (Reason: price declined, climbed back up to right about my entry-point, and subsequently printed a new low.)

UPDATE 2: Stop moved down a tiny bit...

 

UPDATE 3: Stop moved down.

 

FINAL UPDATE: Filled @ profit! Well, on that great note (and I don't mean that sarcastically this time!), I think I'm going to call it a week! This week has been...interesting. I'm back home now, and next week I should be back to regular full-time trading. The week will be cut short, though, because of Christmas. However, during first part of the week when I will be trading, it will be on my normal schedule.

 

Have a good weekend!

Maybe another shot at a GU short...

 

If I would have had my stop at the swing high on that last trade, I'd still be in it...hmm...

 

UPDATE: That's close enough to my BE line to get me to BE (+1 tick).

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
